No 'Power Play' Needed

User Rating: 5 | Power Play Tennis DS
By jjtiebuckle | Review Date:
This is a tennis game I'm surprised they made. Power Play Tennis is basically an attempt to cash in the DS market without utilizing the touchscreen properly. If I had a choice between playing tennis on the DS and nothing at all, I would rather be bored.

There's only two modes - Exhibition and Tournament - that are limited to themselves. You can choose how many sets and difficulty in exhibition, along with different courts, but tournament offers no such thing; there's no difficulty setting and you only have to play 4 matches to win. Characters stats vary, but no customization of characters are present.

Controls- basic ABXY/ D-pad controls with L or R offering power shots, but beyond that nothing special. Without the helper on (blue directional circle), moving towards the direction of the ball is hit or miss.

Sound- a few voice commands that do more justice than the lack of music

Graphics- uninspired 2D sprites

Gameplay- the lack of fun factor makes this game hard to enjoy, but for a quick tennis fix it serves it's purpose.
